During the summer of 2024, Master's student Chiang Yi-Hui and undergraduate student Shih Wan-Lin traveled to Nan Tien Temple in Australia to participate in volunteer service. This experience allowed them to realize that it was not only about serving others, but even more about personal growth.

Chiang Yi-Hui shared that during the 30th anniversary celebrations of Nan Tien Temple, she was involved in media planning, event promotion, and more. Upholding the spirit of "moving forward," she found deeper meaning in this journey to Australia. She also expressed with emotion, "So many people dream of waking up with the Buddha and falling asleep with the Buddha, yet we live in such an environment every day and often fail to feel it or cherish it." Her words deeply moved the audience and prompted reflection among her fellow students.

Shih Wan-Lin mentioned that the daily morning and evening services at Nan Tien Temple allowed her to experience the true essence of Buddhist life. This volunteer experience gave her new insights and reflections on the way she approaches life.
